大般涅槃經義記 3.73

3.73

下明所見，舉初段中所況之事為所見耳，「見於他方無量菩薩」合深山王，現雖學小，宿有大授，故名菩薩；「雖學大乘」合上雖有甘蔗、稻等；「自書寫」下合前貪惜積聚之言，「自書令他」合積聚也。「為利養」等合貪惜也，雖書經卷，專期信施，名為利養；悕求美讚，說「為稱譽」；唯增博知，不為起行，名「為了法」；合他附己，名「為依止」；用之貿小，名「博餘經」；「不能廣為他人宣說」合懼有盡，不敢噉食；「故持是經送至彼」者，合載稻糧而送與之；「令發」已下明送所為，發心起願，安住興行。

Below, it clarifies what was seen; it simply adduces the matter illustrated in the first passage as what was seen. "Seeing in another region immeasurable bodhisattvas" corresponds to the king in the deep mountain: although presently studying the Small, having received the Great in the past, they are therefore called bodhisattvas; "although studying the Mahāyāna" corresponds above to although having sugarcane, rice, and so forth; from "themselves transcribing" onward corresponds to the previous words "covetously begrudging and hoarding it"; "themselves transcribing and causing others to do so" corresponds to hoarding. "For the sake of profit and sustenance," etc., corresponds to covetously begrudging: although transcribing the sūtra scrolls, exclusively expecting gifts from the faithful is called "profit and sustenance"; seeking fine praise is spoken of as "for the sake of acclaim"; solely increasing broad erudition without generating practice is called "for the sake of understanding the Dharma"; bringing others to adhere to oneself is called "for the sake of reliance"; using it to trade for the Small is called "trading for other sūtras"; "unable to broadly expound it for others" corresponds to fearing it will run out and not daring to consume it; "therefore taking this sūtra and delivering it to them" corresponds to loading rice and grain and sending it to them; from "causing them to generate" onward clarifies the purpose of delivering it: generating the mind and giving rise to vows, abiding peacefully and flourishing in practice.
